According to National PostCanada no longer opts for, in terms of diplomacy, what the paper describes as a “feminist foreign policy.”
When interviewed at the G20 Summit in Johannesburg, Mark Carney was asked about the potential for economic ties with countries that restrict the rights of women and LGBTQ+ people. “This aspect is part of our foreign policy, but I would not call it a feminist foreign policy.

This has not been without some tension: “We are observing a real tendency (to put these issues on the back burner) between Prime Minister Carney and the group of white men from the business community who are now at the top of government,” criticized independent senator Marilou McPhedran.
